Network Wiring
CAUTION: In order to ensure optimum performance over the full range of your
installation topology, Crestron Certified Wire, and only Crestron Certified Wire,
should be used. Failure to do so, may incur additional charges if support is
required to identify performance deficiencies as a result of using improper wire.
CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. Failure
to do so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron warranty.
IM Wiring
Using a proprietary signal routing solution, RGBHV, audio, power and control
signals are all transported using a single cable solution called iMedia.
The iMedia transport system port is capable of managing computer RGB and
audio signals simultaneously through one CresCAT-IM cable, simplifying
installations.
Routing CresCAT-IM cable (low-skew CAT5e) is less expensive and a much
simpler solution for the wiring of iMedia systems than routing multi-colored, multi-
conductor coax cable. All Crestron products using the iMedia transport system are
capable of sending and receiving iMedia signals via CresCAT-IM cable. Installation
of any iMedia device is as simple as installing one iMedia cable from output to
input. Installations are affordable, and fast.

Pin Assignments
The pin assignment is based on the EIA/TIA 568B RJ-45 Jack standard.
Power is supplied to the IM transmitters via the audio circuit.
To determine which pin is number 1, hold the cable so that the end of the eight
pin modular jack is facing you, with clip down and copper side up. When
looking down at the copper connections, pin 1 is on the far right.
